Liberal loonies and Al queeda would thank the Dems and other libertarians for voting against the flag burning amendment.

umm..no. The only countries that outlaw burning or desecrating their national flag are China, Cuba, Iran, and Iraq.

So if it had passed, America would be in some great company there. (/sarc)

'umm..no. The only countries that outlaw burning or desecrating their national flag are China, Cuba, Iran, and Iraq.'

Any proof for these claims? I really doubt any nation apart from the morally depraved would classify flag burning as free speech.

As for being in great company, look at the kind of people that support Flag burning as a free speech right Hillary, Ted Kennedy, Kerry, Durbin, Michael moore.. almost all the loony libs at DU etc.. some great bunch of crowd the amendment opposers attract there. (/s)

That list is not correct. I suspect that you would be in a world of hurt if you were to burn the North Korean flag in the main square in Pyongyang. Likewise try burning the Saudi Arabian flag (the one with "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet" written on it) in downtown Mecca by the Grand Mosque.

In Spain, flag desecration is a crime, granted you don't go in front of a firing squad for it, but it's a crime. If you don't believe me type "bandera españa delito" into google. you'll see among other stories, the case where some young Catalan seperatists got into trouble for an animated computer graphic of a burning flag. BTW, my informing you of this in no way should be interpreted as suppport for governments obliging citizens to respect a flag.
